"American ophthalmologists can use
approved medical devices and medications
for other than intended uses (so-called
off-label) without the permission of the
FDA, but should inform their patientsabout the off-label nature of thetreatment."

?It?s been trickier where technology is
developing at a rapid pace, like laser vision
correction. After a LASIK procedure, a
patient might complain of glare and halo
at night and show significant spherical
aberrations on the wavefront analysis.
We?d like to go back and perform a retreatment
using a wavefront-guided laser
to reduce those aberrations. This is an offlabeluse because currently in the US nolaser is approved for customised retreatment,?
he said."
